Count Limited Reports $143.6M Revenue and $8.9M Profit After Tax in FY2025

Strong Financial Performance and Strategic Growth

Count Limited has unveiled a standout financial year for the period ending 30 June 2025, reporting revenues climbing 28% to $143.6 million and a striking 705% surge in profit after tax attributable to owners, reaching $8.89 million. This leap reflects the company’s disciplined execution of both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, notably the transformative integration of Diverger Limited.

The Diverger acquisition, completed in March 2024, has exceeded expectations by delivering $5.1 million in annualised cost synergies, significantly above the initial forecast of $3 million. This integration has not only expanded Count’s scale but also enhanced its service capabilities, positioning the company as Australia’s second-largest financial advice network and the 18th largest accounting firm.

Expanding Funds and Network Reach

Count’s funds under management have grown impressively to over $4 billion as of 31 July 2025, supported by an expanded network of more than 550 financial advisers across 494 firms. The company’s integrated approach to accounting and wealth services continues to attract clients, with approximately 160,000 individuals served and $37.8 billion in funds under advice.

Alongside organic growth, Count completed ten acquisitions during the year, deploying $11 million in capital to scale its Equity Partnerships segment and deepen its market presence. A notable transaction was gaining control of Count Adelaide Holdings Pty Ltd, which merged with Johnston Grocke, further consolidating Count’s footprint in South Australia.

Governance, Risk Management, and Community Commitment

The Board emphasized robust governance and risk oversight throughout FY2025, with a focus on cyber security, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. Diversity remains a priority, with women representing 60% of Non-Executive Directors and 50% of CEO direct reports, reflecting Count’s commitment to inclusive leadership.

Beyond financial metrics, Count’s philanthropic arm, the Count Charitable Foundation, donated over $1.15 million to community causes, including flood relief and financial literacy programs, reinforcing the company’s dedication to social responsibility.

Executive Remuneration Aligned with Performance

Executive remuneration outcomes mirror the company’s strong performance, with short-term incentives awarded at 82% of the maximum for the CEO and 74% for the CFO. Long-term incentives linked to earnings per share growth and return on equity also vested partially, underscoring alignment between leadership rewards and shareholder value creation.

The company’s auditor, KPMG, issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements, affirming the integrity and transparency of Count’s reporting.

Looking Ahead

Count Limited signals confidence in its strategic direction, prioritizing continued acquisitive and organic growth, operational excellence, and innovation. With a solid balance sheet, a growing client base, and a clear vision, the company is well-positioned to sustain momentum in Australia’s competitive financial services landscape.
